I cant believe you guys left out the most important step in making sheetrock
inserts! No one mentioned the all important key step of taping and using
joint compound all the way around the insert to prevent it from flying out
when in use. Also this makes is absolutely flush with the table top (after
sanding of course) and provides for a much better finish for paint. Which by
the way I suggest going to an automotive supply store and getting some good
Dupont products for a long lasting durable finish. Just watch out that Jeff
Gordon doesn't come a knockin to try and get some endorsement money from it!

Hey Uway,

Ed's idea of sheetrock inserts was way-cool, but at 8 cents a pop,
that's a bit pricey.

I have a 9X11" pan of 2-week old Vegetarian Tofu Lasagne That My Wife
Made Me Before She Went To Visit Her Cousin that's been hardening in
the back of the fridge since she left. I can't throw it in the
compost pile 'cause I finally got the nitrogen ion-bounce balance
adjusted just right for my pvc dust collection grounding rod that's
sticking in it, so could I just shellac the 2wovtltmwmmbswtvhc and use
it for inserts? By now, it's a little harder than standard MDF, and
the color's certainly right-- there's a purplish sheen of mold
starting on the edges.

I figure I could adjust the height of the insert with strands of
Capellini, or if I need more height, #9 Spaghetti. Should be a
no-brainer there, and EZ on the budget.

I don't think I should flatten the 2wovtltmwmmbswtvhc insert on my
P-Matic 54A, do you? I could probably use the cheese grater for that.
Right? Do you know what pound cut O'Deen recommends for shellacing
mold?

Thanks for all yer hep,

Michael
